Too bad it's not a round nose, I think George painted one in that scheme in both red and yellow.

I take it that bit of yellow peeking through in various spots is the yellow(ish) primer used on the later models?

Yep, I looked it over good and that's primer Bill. The front wheels are painted the same color as the hood on the couple tractors that I've seen. A good friend told me where one was setting just across the Ohio river from me. I hope to see it sometime soon and get the serial numbers.

Yep, the Lo-Boy twins. Mr. E has one and Gary Dotson has the other.

Sorry Al, no square nose hood Cubs for you..... Unless you find yourself a red and white one. Or a red one. Both are very rare and only a select few may possess one.

As for the yeller on that one... Yogi is right, the used a pretty sturdy yellow primer on Cubs for a long while. There is yellow behind the tool box and other places on my 77 red Cub. And there was a very tough layer under the yeller paint on the 71 too. Definitely not the same 'federal yellow' as the top coat on a Cub.

David:

I have been watching this thread with great interest. These are my favourite colour Cubs - I really like the white hood. I am hoping that you will get this into a database and I can add it to the databases already on the server. This one is generating quite a bit of interest Thanks for doing a great job on it , , it may not have gotten done without your diligence

I called the dealer that had the 2 tone cub and he said he remembered it but it's sold and long gone now.People in my area know I like cubs and ask me often about them usually sharing stories about when their family had one. I'll start asking them about this muti color 64 and see how many have seen them.

How many have been located so far Boss ?Is it possible to get a picture of the cub with the original Dealer sticker on the hood ?

There is a 1963 cub on tractor house. Serial number 223,264. It has the "Farmall Cub" decals. It's square nose and all red. No white hood. Maybe this is out of the range you're looking in, but wanted to post it in case it mattered. Looks to be original since dealer stickers are present.

Looks like the all red ones are 6v (1963 - 1964). Still rare, being the last of the Farmall Cubs. The handful of red and white 12V Farmall's are the really rare ones. Seems like there is a small batch of them before they were yellow 'International Cub' later in 1964.
